I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm wondering how these 2 strips and the bar will handle the power if I get a 24v. For example one LED strip only needs 3 watts, if I hook it up to a 24v transformer would it burn out or does it only draw just the required 3 watts?

you will need to get a transformer with the same output voltage as the LED's
